Is it possible to display a list of names (sheet names) where a data criteria is met on other sheets?

Example - Sheets called Red, White, Blue, Green .. and consolidate

Red A1 = Y Red A2 = N

White A1 = Y White A2 = Y

Blue A1 = N Blue A2 = Y

Green A1 = Y Green A1 = N

Red

A
1 Y
2 N

White

A
1 Y
2 Y

Blue

A
1 N
2 Y

Green

A
1 Y
2 N

I can get totals of "Y" answer to display on consolidate i.e. Consolidate A1 = 3, A2 = 2

But what I'd like to display is the sheet names that answered "Y"

So Consolidate A1 would display: Red A2 would display: White

                                                   White                                        Blue

                                                   Green  

Consolidate

A
1 Red<br><br>White<br><br>Green
2 White<br><br>Blue

Hope this makes sense?

In A1 on the Consolidate sheet:

=TEXTJOIN(", ", TRUE, IF(Red!A1="Y", "Red", ""), IF(White!A1="Y", "White", ""), IF(Blue!A1="Y", "Blue", ""), IF(Green!A1="Y", "Green", ""))

    Change the formula to

    =TEXTJOIN(CHAR(10), TRUE, IF(Red!A1="Y", "Red", ""), IF(White!A1="Y", "White", ""), IF(Blue!A1="Y", "Blue", ""), IF(Green!A1="Y", "Green", ""))

    and turn on Wrap Text for A1 and A2

    @HansV MVP - thank you .. any way to get the resulting cell to display names in a list format?
    I thought formatting and wrap text might work but not as desired.
    No probs if not.
